COMBIN ED BLOUSE AND PANTALOON-OVERALLS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 315,506, dated April14, 1885.

Application filed July 19, 1884. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL JACOBS, a citizenof the United States,residing at Hutchinson, in the county of Reno andState of Kan- 5 sas,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Blouse andPantaloon-Overalls,of which the following is a specification, referencebeing had therein to the accompanying drawing.

[ The object of this'invention is to construct a combined overall andblouse in such a manher as to dispense with suspenders and thoroughlyprotect the clothing, it being inexpensive, easy to put on, andcomfortable to the wearer.

The invention is fully illustrated in the accompanying drawing, whichshows the same partly in perspective and partlyin front elevation.

Referring to the said drawing by letter, A indicates an overall, thelegs of which extend up the back or rear portion, and may be secured tothe lower waist portion of the blouse to form a continuous body from thelower end of the legs to the top or neck of the blouse.

The rearportions of the pocketslits are provided with narrow verticalflaps a a, which are respectively provided at their upper ends with abutton for holding up the front closing- 0 flaps, B B. These flaps, aswell as being designed to fall from their upper ends to the base of thepocket-slits, are also centrally opened, and provided with the usualbuttons and button-holes for closing them. Thus it 3 5 will be seen thata very large opening is made for the wearer to put them on without greatexertion or soiling of clothing. The front p0rtion of theblouse is freefrom the pocket-slits at the waist to their outer ends, so that the 0same may be thrown open its entire width in putting it on. The blouse isof a form closely resembling a vest-front, its front wings, C G,

being designed to overlap the upper front portion of the pants, havingtheir lower edges free therefrom, connection being made with the frontof the pants A by a strap, D, which is permanently secured to one of thewings of the blouse, as at E, having a hole for the reception of abutton on one of the pants-flaps,

which is first passed through the button-hole F on the opposite flap.The meeting ed-gesof the wings of the blouse are also provided withbuttons and button-holes for connecting the same when closed. It willalso be perceived that this garment, as well as excluding dirt and 5 thelike from the clothing of the wearer,will be much cooler than those atpresent innse.

A strap is attached to the waist portion of the garment, whereby boththe pantaloon and blouse portion may be adjusted for the waist.

Having thus described my invention, what i I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is" l As an improved article, a combined pairof pants and a blouse, the rear of which is formed continuous, and thefront of the blouse separated from and adapted to overlap the front ofthe pants, and provided with atag. as 'D, for connecting the same, thesaid pants having the vertical lateral flaps aa, provided with a buttonat their upper ends, and the falling front composed of the parts 13 B,which open well into the legs, and are adapted to be buttoned at theirouter and adjacent edges, re-

spectively, as shown and described. l

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

SAMUEL JAooBs.
